the springs should be rotated, with the small side facing in. That way the fork tips fit on to the threaded axle. The springs are not essential, they are there to simply centre the skewer in the wheel making it easier to fit. Hope that helps.

Hi Craig, you would need a new axle and possibly hub too. Probably the best bet would be to buy a new wheel unfortunately.
@bikesonline11 жыл бұрын
John unfortunately you cant, as you will have a solid axle on your nutted hub. With a quick release the axle is hollow so the skewer can go through it.

It still looks like the fork will smush the springs that are caught between the fork cutout and the axle! I'm reading here that the springs aren't essential but I want to do things right. Smushing the springs doesn't seem right. Does everyone just not care about smushing the spring? Why not? The springs are there for a reason so why smush them? Puzzled.
@bikesonline10 жыл бұрын
Mike, The forks sit on the threaded axle that only protude slightly from the hub. The springs are conical shaped so the smaller part should face the wheel. The Quick release lever then clamps the forks onto the wheel. Hope that helps.

We always advise having the lever on the opposite side of the rotor on the front, but opposite side of the cassette on the rear. Just keeps it out of the way from the most busy areas of the bike.

***** the fork sits on the axle, not on the skewer or spring. The best way to see how it works is to remove the skewer all together and then you can see where it sits. Cheers

Make sure you put the wheel back in the frame with the bike upright, that ensures that the axle sit securely into the drop outs. That should probably solve it. If not loosen the caliper bolts, centre the caliper and you should be good to go. We have some additional videos which can help with this.

That is also a good option to install or remove wheels from a bicycle, as it creates a temporary bike stand so you don't need to lift the bike off the ground or balance it. The only downside to turning the bike upside down is that you might scratch/damage the grips and/or the saddle, not ideal on a brand new bike. Thanks for your input :)

Hi Philip, Mechanically it makes no difference. And really in some ways it is better to have it on the lever on the other side of the disc. However tradition, and the fact that the rear wheel lever is on the left due to the derailleur being on the right, has dictated it being on the left.

Hi there. We do apologise for the inconvenience. If you purchased your bike from Bicycles Online Australia, please email sales@bicyclesonline.com.au to speak with our customer service team. The springs in the quick release are not critical for the functioning of the part. The only purpose of the springs it to centre the quick release on the hub and make for easier wheel installation. Once the wheel is installed, the springs serve no purpose at all and the bike is 100% OK to ride.

@@defyaim2844 we understand your concern. As long as the Quick Release lever is properly secure, your wheel will not fall off because it's missing a spring. You can always try to stop by a local bike shop and ask if they have a QR spring laying around for you. There is no difference between left or right spring. This can be useful for you if you take the wheel of your bike often, to put the bike inside the car or in storage, otherwise we probably wouldn't bother. Cheers!
@rereedscarce37085 жыл бұрын
@@defyaim2844 They owe you a spring. It makes life easier, it's how it was designed to be used almost a hundred years ago. The springs are for keeping both sides of the clamping mechanism equally open while it is off the bike. With one spring, one side will be almost closed and the spring side will be _generously_ open. It's not a big deal, unless quality control is a problem. My reaction would be "what else was missed by the assembler?" That said though, your QR can hold the wheel every bit as well without the second spring.
